TUF: Team USA vs. Team UK

mmajunkie.com

The first ever country vs. country edition of the long-running reality show was a dud in my opinion.

Not only was the American's team depleted on talent from eight previous seasons of the show, but the fights were lackluster as well. Only DaMarques Johnson and Ross Pearson are still employed with the UFC.

The best part of the season came after the series was over, when Dan Henderson punched Michael Bisping's head to the moon.

TUF: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest

Quinton Jackson's horrid record as a TUF coach started with this season, but you can't blame it on his eye for talent. That's because there was not much talent to work with on this season.

Although there are five men currently in the UFC from this season, most are bottom-feeders in the organization. These fighters include Matt Riddle, CB Dollway, Tim Credeur, Amir Sadollah and Matt Brown.

TUF: Team Cruz vs. Team Faber

The most recent completed series, and only live version of the show, has provided decent prospects, but was not the greatest season.

A lot of the fighters from this series are still in the UFC, but that's because they are only a fight or two into their UFC career. The most promising of the fighters have to be Mike Chiesa, Al Iaquinta, Daron Cruickshank and Myles Jury.

TUF: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck

All the lame Josh Koscheck pranks aside, this season of TUF has provided several respectable fighters.

Although most of the guys are now fighting in lower weight classes, such as Cody McKenzie, Jonathan Brookins, Alex Caceres, Pablo Garza and Nam Phan, Michael Johnson remains in the lightweight division for which the show was taped.

This show is one of the better late seasons to feature the often-used lightweight division.

TUF: Team Liddell vs. Team Ortiz

Although the best part of this season was the interaction between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, this season definitely provided some good fighters.

Still remaining in the UFC are Kyle Noke, Rich Attonito, Court McGee, Brad Tavares, Nick Ring, Costa Philippou, Seth Baczynski and Chris Camozzi. Most of these guys are not "cream of the crop," but they are definitely tough opponents for anybody.

TUF: The Comeback

The fourth installment of the series was a "comeback" season, taking UFC veterans in two weight classes to give it another shot in the company.

It was an intriguing idea and still is, as I would love to see another series like this. Still in the UFC are Patrick Cote and Matt Serra (technically). Some of the guys have retired and went out on top in the UFC, such as Jorge Rivera and Chris Lytle.

There were no coaches, but Matt Serra definitely took it upon himself to be a leader.

TUF: Team Ortiz vs. Team Shamrock

The third installment of TUF featured just as many near brawls between coaches Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz as fights that were in the cage.

From the show, the UFC currently is home to Ed Herman, Matt Hamill and Michael Bisping. Bisping is a top middleweight, Hamill has been a staple in the light heavyweight division and Herman is enjoying a resurgent stint at 185.

Though many guys aren't left in the company, the ones that are still here are top talents.

TUF: Team Evans vs. Team Rampage

Another season where the coaches antics were on display, the tenth season of TUF was interesting to say the least.

The heavyweight division has always been the most shallow, and this season provided some good talents. Roy Nelson, Brendan Schaub and Matt Mitrione are all solid talents that still grace the heavyweight division.

The fights were good and exciting for the most part, giving this season the high mark it has.

TUF: Team Penn vs. Team Pulver

Between crazy antics and exciting fights, the fifth season of the show is my personal favorite. The shenanigans started early, as BJ Penn punked out Jens Pulver at the fighter selection.

There was some major talent on this season. Gray Maynard, Joe Lauzon, Matt Wiman, Nate Diaz, Manny Gamburyan and Cole Miller are all still in the UFC. Gamburyan, Diaz and Maynard are all title challengers at some point in their career, with Diaz's opportunity coming in December.

There were fights in the cage and in the house, making this the craziest season of the show.

TUF: Team Liddell vs. Team Couture

The first ever season is the best in the long-running reality show. The in-house antics, as well as most of the fights, were very good.

Further than that, the talent the show produced was top-notch, especially compared to other seasons. Forrest Griffin, Kenny Florian, Stephan Bonnar, Mike Swick, Josh Koscheck, Diego Sanchez, Nate Quarry and Chris Leben all got their starts in the UFC with this season.
